My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly! novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Nirvana!? Demonic Cave? Sold Out!?

A light shone through the surroundings with Eryke the Fourth as the source, covering everything around the place.

He felt warm energy that was circulating in his body. This energy felt so pure and untainted, almost as if he had gained nirvana itself!

All the pain washed away, and he felt like he was in heaven, a place of warmth and peacefulness. Even the sound of the rain completely stopped.

Eryke the Fourth felt like he was reaching nirvana.

At some point in time, the rain stopped, and the villagers appeared outside, slowly but surely, with a hint of vigilance in their eyes, their pupils focused on the destruction around Eryke the Fourth.

"Are they dead?" one of them muttered.

"I thought this old man was creepy and was up to no good," a woman muttered while feeling a shiver. "And it seems like my guess was correct. Luckily, that young hero saved us all."

"But is that young hero dead?"

"There is no wound on his body. It seems like he should be fine?"

"Maybe he is just exhausted?"

"What should we do then?"

There were questions after questions flying across the air, but no one moved with anxiety and anxiousness.

These were just ordinary people who wanted to just live their life, and now they might have fallen into a conflict of higher power they couldn’t possibly comprehend, which naturally made them afraid.

But at that moment, the clear sky formed black clouds again, and a single lightning bolt struck down like the wrath of heaven and hit Eryke the Fourth.

A strange sound resounded throughout the place, the light blinding almost everyone present.

It only subsided after ten minutes.

When the villagers opened their eyes, they looked at a smaller version of Eryke the Fourth and were stunned on the spot.

He looked like an eight-year-old child rather than a young adult.

"This... what is happening?"

Panic took hold in the crowd. They had the urge to leave this village almost immediately.

At this time, the galloping of horses resounded from far away, growing louder by the minute.

The elder of the village tightened his brows while scratching his chin:

"I feel like I am forgetting something."

He narrowed his eyes. This familiar horse galloping, he felt like he had heard it just a little while ago.

"Wait, it’s the Demonic Cult," the elder called out, and a strange silence took hold.

This village was under the Demonic Cult. This was true, but in actuality, they never helped out with anything. The villagers had to give up a portion of their harvest, as well as new children to send to the demonic caves every year, which was terrifying in itself.

But such was the condition of living in this world, otherwise if they didn’t have the name of the Demonic Cult behind them then their village would have been ravaged by bandits long ago.

"We have the harvest, but who should go?"

"I don’t want my child to face such cruel treatment."

The children were tightly clutching their parents with their trembling bodies.

The Demonic Cave, as the name suggests, is a terrifying place where they treat humans as insects and let them fight against each other to the death until the strongest insect wins and becomes selected.

It was a cruel and bloody place, and the chance of survival was very thin and low.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze drew toward the child-like form of Eryke the Fourth.

A group of horsemen quickly reached the village, led by a man wearing a white devil’s mask.

There was only a faint source of light coming from the candle on the table, and behind the table sat an old woman who was busy scribbling something with a quill pen. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}
